Usually, yeah, “GSC looks fine” doesn’t mean much on its own. I’d still check logs / crawl patterns before blaming an update — half the time it’s some boring site-side break and people just don’t notice it till traffic falls off a cliff. If a bunch of pages just stopped moving, that smells more like internal linking, canonicals, rendering, or a noindex/robots screwup than a broad update.
